We found this tin containing two apples on a bench in Brooklyn’s Shore Road Park.

There was a sign attached to the tin that read, “Please take they are from a garden.”

Several things ran through our mind.  Who took and ate the other apples that were most likely in that tin?  Did someone ever think that apples didn’t come from a garden of some sort?  Like, did they think that apples came out of the engines of 60s muscle cars or something?

Lastly, who would be eccentric enough to think that leaving a tin full of apples in a park in the middle of Brooklyn with a sign saying “free” would be a good thing, and apparently have it all work out?  Certainly not us…

We happened to spot this old sign on a new-ish gate at the Surrogate’s Court on Adams Street in Brooklyn.

Despite our 30 years in Brooklyn, we don’t recall ever seeing any signs that were issued by the Department of Traffic — or ever even hearing about the Department of Traffic — so we assumed that this old sign was an ancient relic from Roman times (before the end of the Republic), back when centurions used to block the driveways to the courts with their horses and Germanic slaves.

We can only hope that this sign isn’t up because it has been stuck in probate all these years…  ZING!

*We’ve emailed Kevin Walsh from Forgotten NY who informed us the sign is likely a prior to 1975 sign.

For shame!  We spotted this sad sight on Brooklyn’s Union Street, just off of Grand Army Plaza. 

There was only one thing that this sign wasn’t supposed to be on…yet there it is, being held by four ties on the fence. 

One would think that the sign hanger(s) would have read the sign before hanging it up any old place –  an old place that happens to be the one place that it was not intended to be on.

When we spotted this sign it made us do a double-take.

It’s along the same lines of saying, ‘We will not sell meat cut by cocaine.’  Yet, oddly enough, some places actually do package their fresh meat with carbon monoxide so that it can look fresh for weeks.  Even more odd, the Food and Drug Administration says that it is perfectly fine, for now.

Ew, ew, ew!

We certainly know who we want to do all of our alterations, Wu Cleaners!

Conveniently located in Gramercy Park, they managed to squeeze the ‘E’ into ‘alterations’ for a most ironic twist.  They certainly altered that sign like there was no tommorw!
